A: The proper way to challenge the chair's ruling or action is by moving a Point of Order. The chair then asks you to state your point, which you do, perhaps explaining why the chair's ruling or action is in violation of the bylaws or RONR. The chair then rules on your point, indicating whether your point is "well taken."

If the chair has ruled your point not well taken, you may then Appeal from the decision of the chair. This requires a seconding. The chair states the question to the assembly: "Shall the decision of the chair be sustained?" The chair then explains his ruling. The members each may speak once regarding the correctness of the ruling. The chair may then speak once more, to answer any objections raised. A vote is then taken. A majority of the votes in the negative overrules the chair's decision.

If the chair loses, he does not step down. (See RONR Sections 23 and 24.)
